A sure fire way to cause it on demand is to do a sysctl -a. I've also found that taking the battery out and running on A/C only reduces the frequency of the distortions. You may have gathered that this is a laptop based on the fact that it has a battery. Sound is provided by an Acer Labs M5451 using t4dwave driver. On the other side of the spectrum, sound plays back perfectly on my workstation. -- Russell A. Jackson Slaves are generally expected to sing as well as to work ... I did not, when a slave, understand the deep meanings of those rude, and apparently incoherent songs. I was myself within the circle, so that I neither saw nor heard as those without might see and hear. They told a tale which was then altogether beyond my feeble comprehension: they were tones, loud, long and deep, breathing the prayer and complaint of souls boiling over with the bitterest anguish. Every tone was a testimony against slavery, and a prayer to God for deliverance from chains. -- Frederick Douglass
